Hey all.
I just finished this, and while it was a bit edgy and teen-drama-ish at times, I really enjoyed it, and I liked how different the experience of reading it was from a regular novel.
So can you guys give me some good recommendations for graphic novels? I'd prefer no manga, but 10/10 ones I'm open to.
From Hell, by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell
Persepolis. If there's one comic book that's going to be added to the canon th
the tail girl was fucking hot
Also this offered a real grudging sense of despair and angst that I rarely get out of "real" literature--the part where the walrus-looking guy gets told to fuck off in the diner and then takes out a gun (i'm fuzzy on the details, haven't read dis in a while) felt wrought with just bleakness thats hard to capture in any medium imo. Really excellent work
Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth by Chris Ware
This including everything by Alan Moore, The Dark Knight, THE SANDMAN, MAUS, PALESTINE and FUN HOME.
Get this comic book nonsense off my board
Contained series' like Alan Moore's run with Swamp Thing and the first Sandman (not as good as Swamp Thing, not the same quality) series is pretty good. Watchmen is a classic ofc, and is still very good and pretty relevant with all the capeshit about.
Ghost World is a favorite of mine. Loved that in High School. If you're interested in something non-fiction maybe check out Fun Home by Alison Bechdel.
It's garbage tho.
No it isn't.
